Below are four (4) questions and a bonus question. You have to answer them
instantly. You can't take your time, answer all of them immediately. OK?
Let's find out just how clever you really are...
Ready? GO!!!
Scroll down for Answer
First Question:
You are participating in a race. You overtake the second person. What
position are you in?
Answer: If you answered that you are first, then you are absolutely wrong!
If you overtake the second person and you take his place, you are second!
Try not to screw up in the next question. To answer the second question,
don't take as much time as you took for the
first question
Second Question:
If you overtake the last person, then you are...?
Answer: If you answered that you are second to last, then you are wrong
again. Tell me, how can you overtake the LAST Person?
You're not very good at this! Are you?
Third Question:
Very tricky math! Note: This must be done in your head only.
Do NOT use paper and pencil or a calculator. Try it.
Take 1000 and add 40 to it. Now add another 1000. Now add 30. Add another
1000. Now add 20. Now add another 1000 Now add 10. What is the total?
Answer.
Did you get 5000? The correct answer is actually 4100.
Don't believe it? Check with your calculator! Today is definitely not your
day. Maybe you will get the last question right?
Mary's father has five daughters: 1. Nana, 2. Nene, 3. Nini, 4. Nono. What
is the name of the fifth daughter?
Answer: Nunu?
NO! Of course not. Her name is Mary. Read the question again
Okay, now the bonus round.
There is a mute person who wants to buy a toothbrush. By imitating the
action of brushing one's teeth he successfully expresses himself to the
shopkeeper and the purchase is done. Now if there is a blind man who wishes
to buy a pair of sunglasses, how should he express himself?
He just has to open his mouth and ask, so simple.
KEEP THIS GOING TO FRUSTRATE THE SMART PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE!

I've sent everyone the link to post on this blog, so if u didn't receive it, pls tell me and I'll resend ok?
Now I need suggestions, because we have people suggesting that the tagboard is hard to read probably due to the colour scheme, therefore, pls give me some suggestions on what colour to use so that i can change it?
On top of this, anyone with any class pictures can send them to me, or best if it can be edited into a collage or something like that so that we can use it as the background ok?

To add some fun to this blog, here's a question to ponder upon
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barometer_question
The barometer question is a well-known urban legend in academia. It has multiple different forms, but all are based around the same thing: an examination paper in Physics which includes the question,
"How would you measure the height of a tall building using an aneroid barometer?"
As an urban legend, there has never been any confirmed record of this question having appeared in an exam paper.
The presumed intended answer is that it could be done by comparing the barometer readings at the top and bottom of the building; however, the urban legend is based on a student - or several students - giving other answers which are completely correct but not the intended one. Example answers include:
• Tying the barometer to the end of a piece of string, lowering the barometer from the top of the building and then measuring the length of the string and barometer once the barometer touches the ground (some say this answer was provided by a young Niels Bohr);
• Lowering the barometer from the top of the building on a piece of string, then swinging it like a pendulum and measuring the period of its oscillation;
• Using a shorter piece of string measure the period of the makeshift pendulum at the top and bottom of the building. Use the two values to determine the change in gravitational force and therefore the height of the building;
• Throwing the barometer off the top of the building and measuring how long it takes to hit the ground;
• Measuring the barometer, then placing the barometer against the building, marking the top, placing the barometer above the mark, marking the new top, and so on until the building has been measured in baro-meters;
• Measuring the barometer, finding the length of the shadow cast by the barometer when stood on the ground, then finding the length of the building's shadow in the same conditions;
• Finding the building custodian and offering them the barometer in exchange for information about the height of the building.
In different versions of the legend, the student is passed for their answer, or initially failed but then passed after protest, or similar.
It might seem that all of these supposed solutions, except for the last one, require the person to possess another method of measurement other than the barometer. (For example, measuring the length of the string and barometer requires another method of measuring length.) However, since the question does not specify the units required, one could use the length of the barometer itself to measure the length of the string, etc. and give results in "barometers". This is no different from using any other agreed-upon standard, such as a yardstick.
Asking the custodian is invalid, since at no point is a measurement made.

New Blog up!
It super plain at the moment, but it will get better when I get the class photos to become the background.
Any GOOD suggestions, pls post it on the tagboard and I'll consider them!
If you have a blog and want to be linked, pls tag too!
